I was a kid when he was even relevant in the music scene. I have caught a few of the MJ lore celebrations and tributes. Depending on which one's you watch. He wrote his music. He did not write his music. He was a performer. Whatever.
That said, I'll defer to your expertise on the MJ song writing lore.

yes, as a kid, I heard MJ like everyone else, had the Thriller vinyl, and loved the sound. In fact, MJ/Quincy Jones was partially responsible for me getting so into synthesizers and electronic music production. Im a huge fan of guys like Herbie hancock and Quincy Jones, Isaac hayes etc, guys who played synths with funky/jazz beats.
I own Quincy Jones and herbie hancock albums and have played them since I was a kid, have always enjoyed the sound of those drum machines and synths Quincy and the like used.
